I said that each of Ash's rival are arrogant jerks but their characters and their story arcs are done completely differently. Did Paul and Trip have a cheerleading squad following them around or a childhood rivalry with Ash? Did Trip and Gary abuse Pokémon and abandon them every time they deemed them as weak or have a backstory involving their siblings? Did Gary and Paul have a Champion role model and lose the first round in most tournaments realizing that strength isn't everything?

They are different and they are all arrogant as well. But their arrogance was shown different. Plus Gary had his own cheeleading squad and car, Paul had his own personal reserve trainer with Reggie and Trip had a camera, all completely different.

That's what I was saying. All 3 of them are completely different characters.

From what I have heard, the people in Japan absolutely hate Cameron so hopefully we never see anyone like him again.

At least they have a good reason to dislike him though. I mean what did the writers expect when they created Cameron, that people would love him because he has cool Pokemon? That obviously wasn't enough to make people overlook the fact that he's forgetful and that he cheated his way through this battle. He's got a nice design though, I'll give him that.

I need to move to Japan since it seems the fanbase there knows bad writing when they see it.

That would never happen in a sudden death tournament. Someone has to go on.

Yes, they both go, and whoeve of the other 3 that would get paired up with them, gets a free pass, I still don't see how hard is for people to see that scenario, its the most logical one if they do indeed draw(i think Kotetsu is winning still).

Team Virgil or Team Cameron one of these teams are going to become the Unova League winners. Tomorrow will be a glorious day for one of those two teams and a tragic day for the other. The guys who are going to be disappointed the most are Team Ash.

But they expected more out of him then to lose in either a 5 on 6 battle to the guy who he helped enter the league or get thrashed in about 10 minutes against a guy that people expected to do more then what he ended up doing in the end.

Yeah but we knew this for weeks. Maybe the people who don't read spoilers are going to be disappointed but for us on here, seeing him lose to Cameron will be expected.
